Happy Labor Day to all unions except for cop unions, which I would argue are not real unions but crime syndicates

Jerry Nadler ends his remarkable career, conceding that his brand of politics on the Middle East is over. “I don’t know what to say at this point,” he said. “I can’t defend what Israel is doing.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

Rudy Giuliani was heading to a drunk driving emergency when he was attacked by a bear, but he saved the woman the bear was chasing, and the bear was an illegal immigrant.

I think that was the old way of doing things when companies were expected to actually make things, now it’s betting on a company’s ability to manage a brand, exploit positive press, buy out rivals, and maintain the appearance of infinite growth.

In the richest country on Earth, hospitals are closing en masse. In rural Maine you’re driving an hour to the nearest birthing center. The hospital in Blue Hill where I was born is closed. It’s a disaster brought on by decades of pure greed, and nothing short of Medicare for All can turn the tide.

I think we’ve hit saturation on these “I learned from ChatGPT that it sucks, but isn’t the learning what really matters, and isn’t that kind of profound?” pieces. It is not profound to “learn” that minimizing the effort you put into your relationships is not ideal. It’s embarrassing.
